Additional Notes
IMPORTANT: This is the small Town of Port Washington, NOT the much larger City of Port Washington (also Ozaukee County) — verified via townofportwashingtonwi.gov and Town Hall address 3715 Highland Drive, Port Washington, WI 53074. Town website lists two inspectors: Commercial – Roger Kison (414-333-4511, rrkison@outlook.com); Residential – Nick Thill (262-277-1328, anchorinspectllc@gmail.com). DSPS UDC Delegated Municipalities list (code 45012) instead lists a single inspector, Roger Kison, with a different phone/email (262-375-1349, rkison@wi.rr.com) and Clerk Heather Krueger at clerk@town.port-washington.wi.us (older domain). Both source sets retained as a hedge since they conflict slightly; the town's own current site is treated as primary. A separate county zoning/land-use permit may also be required (Ozaukee County Planning & Parks).
What You Need Before Applying for a Permit
Most building departments ask for the same core package before they'll issue a permit: a completed application naming the property owner and contractor, the contractor's state license number and proof of insurance (general liability, and workers' comp if employees are on the job), a notice of commencement or equivalent recorded filing for larger jobs where the state requires one, and scaled plans or a site plan for anything beyond minor repairs. Roofing, fence, pool, and solar permits typically have their own simplified checklists — Town of Port Washington's department (above) can confirm exactly what applies to your project.
Why this matters for insurance: permit history is one of the first things an underwriter or adjuster checks. Unpermitted work — a finished basement, an added bedroom, a rebuilt roof — can complicate a claim or even void coverage for that portion of the loss, and it routinely surfaces during a home inspection. Pulling the right permit up front, and keeping the closed-permit record on file, protects both the property's value and its insurability at resale.
